The people of the Murray Bridge Church of Christ invite you to join us for our time of praise and worship tomorrow morning, Sunday, 7th January 2018.

Our time together will include songs and hymns of praise to God. We also celebrate the Lord’s Supper, also known as communion, where we remember the life, death, and resurrection of our saviour, our Lord Jesus Christ. Visitors who love Jesus Christ as their saviour are welcome to join us in this celebration, but this is not compulsory.

We also include some Bible readings and a message (sermon) from our pastor, Grant Spangenberg.

After the service, you can join us in the Coffee Shop for a time of fellowship over a cuppa. We would love to get to know you in a relaxed atmosphere.

Many of you will by now aware that our church building was subject to an arson attack in the early hours of this morning, between 2 and 3 am.

The fire was started in our green bins which are kept in the drive-through section. It has severely damaged the roof of the drive-through and a few sheets of roofing iron adjacent to this area. There has been some water enter the passageway near the kitchen but there is no damage apparent.

There was considerable smoke in the chapel area but no damage. All the seats have needed to be vacuumed as well as the carpet. The Bookshop and Coffee Shop seem to have been almost totally unaffected. An electrician has attended and restored power throughout – except for the driveway area.

After some deliberation, it has been decided to continue with our worship service tomorrow morning as planned.

Anyone who has any respiratory problems should be aware that there may still be some smokiness remaining inside the building.

Our grateful thanks go to two very alert neighbours near the church who raised the alarm before more serious damage occurred.
